To Colonel II. Z. Young. Charleston, s. c..
Dear Sr-1n the month of September last
after the calamity by earthquake which befel your
city formed the acquaintance, at this place. of Mr.
r. T. Miller, of Cincinnati, who not only spoke with
feeling in regard to the loss and suerings endured by
your people, but the other hand in reply to
my inquiries, gave cheering account of the
general industrial prosperity of the South. At part.
ing ! said to him that if believed small token Of
sympathy from one of the family of John Brown, Of
Harper Ferry the distressed people of Charleston
would be accepted. would forward the money "a
soon 1 could earn it. Mr. Miller expressed conf
dence that such contribution would not be rejected
The inclosed $5, in postofce money order, should
have sent earlier had bnot unfortunately mslad your
address, which he gave at the time.
Please accept and bestow, in your Judgment
shall appear BEST this slight token of the kind feeling
which know possessed the heart of John Brown and
of each of his family towards the people of the
South. 1t was only towards her slavery that he or
any of his kindred cherished "a sacred animosity."
Chattel slavery wrong for which the North and
South were responsible has ceased-expiated in the
blood of brethren. The storm of fratrcidal war
which closed that scene in countrys drama has
left may hope, clear sky and land that shalt
evermore be made glad and beautiful by the
shine of righteousness-right and fair dealing by all
towards all. Fraternally, yours
